Dual vocal harmonies cut through fuzz guitars\, defining songs that blend psych-tinged power pop\, post-punk edge\, and ’60s garage. With three LPs—Viral Pop Implosions\, Evil Somewhere in the Woods\, and the acoustic-leaning Mirror Myths and Bad Dreams (2026)—plus a newly released garage rock EP\, Fuzzy Prophet continues to evolve while delivering high-energy\, melody-forward live shows. Their fourth album\, Never Be Your Prey\, arrives in late summer 2026. \nPsychic Idols are a Richmond\, VA garage‑psych trio that trades nostalgia for momentum—taut rhythms\, jagged guitars\, and songs that push forward with purpose. Enlightenment through amplification.
